Oh, How He Must Miss TOTUS
I thought Barack Obama was supposed to be the smart President. “Sometimes it seems like one loud voice can drown out all the sensible voices out there,” President Barack Obama told supporters at a meeting of the Democratic Party-sponsored Organizing for America today Web-cast to a national network watching on the Internet, plus an audience [...]
Barack Obama’s Clueless Third
What surprises me most about this poll isn’t that 69 percent of Americans think that Preisdent Obama will break his promise not to raise taxes on everyone except C. Montgomery Burns and the Monopoly Guy but that 31 percent don’t actually realize he’s already done it. It’s not like the President doesn’t have a few [...]
What Do I Know About Free Speech? I’m Not Linda Douglass.
Mark Steyn wants to know why the White House should restrict itself to just one way to rat out your neighbor for improper casual conversations. He also has a few suggestions for other ways to communicate with our Dear Leader. Reporting dissent is the highest form of patriotism! Is your neighbor suspiciously “well-dressed”? Is he [...]
For the Left, Any Action Has an Equal, Opposite, and Violent Reaction.
Cause: Top White House aides gave Senate Democrats a recess battle plan on Thursday, arming the lawmakers with tips for avoiding disastrous town hall meetings while showing them polling on popular aspects of the reform effort. … “If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina said, according to an official who [...]

Fun at AIP: The Obama Economic Tag Team Flop and Porny Gorillas!
My new piece at AIP tackles the Geithner/Summers tag team who hit the Sunday talk shows yesterday. Their message was simple: the President considers deficit reduction a top priority and our economy cannot possibly recover with such a high deficit. And also mumblemumbletaxincreasesonthemiddleclassmumblemumble. I’ve yet to see an actual wrestling tag team pin themselves and [...]
The White House Beer Accords – The Day After*
I didn’t write about the White House Beer Accords yesterday because, quite honest, it’s a non-story. The President obviously stuck his foot so far into his mouth he’s tasting his own knee and he needed a semi-graceful way out of the situation. The MSM, always eager to provide a first-class bootlicking, was right where it [...]
The Only Cure for a Hagiography is the Truth
Earlier today, I said Michelle Malkin was one of my five favorite bloggers. Well, here’s why. Over the weekend, the New York Times published a massive, 8,100-word profile of the Obamas’ best friend and Chicago crony, Valerie Jarrett. The author, Robert Draper, laments that “[o]ver a four-month period of reporting, I struggled to understand Jarrett’s [...]
